Tips for Choosing

Quality Guide

Only the finest quality, pure gems yield the therapeutic results we expect from gemstone energy medicine. The higher a gem’s quality, the more therapeutically powerful it is. As a gem rises in quality, its therapeutic potency often increases far more than its price. Going up even one level of quality can deliver many times more therapeutic power.

Gemstone Size

Next to quality, the most important factor in determining a gemstone’s therapeutic power is mass. Quality being equal, larger gems are more potent than smaller ones. If your neck is sensitive to weight, consider wearing somewhat smaller gems. Children usually require shorter necklaces and smaller gems.

Necklace Length

Quality and gem size being equal, longer necklaces are more therapeutically potent than shorter ones because they contain more gemstone mass. Consider your comfort when choosing; for example, shorter people may prefer wearing shorter necklaces. If you wish to wear more than one necklace simultaneously, ideally they should be of different lengths. All necklaces 23 inches or shorter contain a 14K gold clasp; longer necklaces have no clasp.

Yellow Sapphire helps you adapt to the Earth’s changing environment and nourishes your body with its healing yellow ray. It protects your cells from solar energies that are harmful and awakens latent genes that allow your body to adapt to increasing levels of radiation from the sun. This new genetic coding also protects your cells from the damage caused by electromagnetic radiation from everyday appliances and medical applications, such as x-rays.

Yellow Sapphire carries the yellow color ray. Yellow Sapphire’s yellow ray strengthens the health of your skin, digestive system, and organs of elimination. It also helps correct color ray imbalances throughout your being, thereby healing and nourishing you at a fundamental level. Citrine also acts as a source of yellow ray and provides Citrine’s unique benefits. However, because Citrine’s crystalline structure is not as strong as that of Yellow Sapphire, it is unable to carry the same intensity and volume of yellow ray that Yellow Sapphire carries.

Adapting to Our Changing Environment

In recent years, the sun’s radiation has been undergoing an important change. Among other things, the sun has begun to radiate a larger volume and higher frequency of the yellow ray. As inhabitants of the Earth who depend on the sun’s rays, we must adapt to these changes. Doing so will allow us to survive and thrive under our changing sun.

Wearing a solid necklace of Yellow Sapphire helps the body adapt to the sun’s changing radiation in two ways: (1) it protects the cells from certain harmful energies carried by the sun’s yellow ray, and (2) it encourages the DNA to evolve and become neutral and receptive to the sun’s changing radiation.

Protecting Cells from Harmful Solar Radiation

The yellow ray is a carrier frequency. Like radio waves, which can carry voices, music, and other sounds, the yellow ray can carry other energies. The energies carried by Yellow Sapphire’s yellow ray are benign and supportive; they include the healing energies of sapphire and can also include other life-giving color rays. In contrast, the sun’s yellow ray carries some energies that are currently harmful to human and some animal life. Because these harmful energies piggyback the sun’s yellow ray, as the outpouring of solar yellow ray has increased, so has the volume of these harmful energies. Wearing Yellow Sapphire protects us from these harmful solar energies.

When you wear a solid necklace of Yellow Sapphire, its own yellow ray envelops your body and fills your aura. Because your aura is then saturated with this yellow ray, it can accept no more yellow ray from outside sources, such as the sun. In this way, wearing Yellow Sapphire protects your body against the harmful energies carried by solar yellow ray.

Encouraging the Evolution of Our DNA

While Yellow Sapphire is providing this protection, it also trains the body to adapt to the rising levels of radiation, both from the sun and from other sources in our environment. To do this, Yellow Sapphire helps our DNA evolve. It encourages genetic changes that allow our cells to accept the sun’s higher yellow-ray output and not be injured by the harmful energies it carries. In this way, Yellow Sapphire helps us live healthfully and harmoniously in our changing environment.

When our genetic material changes, the process of adaptation isn’t always comfortable. It might include illnesses. If we heal from the illness, our DNA adapts and becomes more receptive to the new environment. Yellow Sapphire can help us make such changes and facilitate our genetic evolution gracefully, without the need for illness or other discomforts.

We can imagine that a strand of DNA is like a piano keyboard. When you play a chord on a piano, you activate a certain set of keys and leave the rest silent. Similarly, to perform a particular function in the body, only certain genes are actively involved. The keys played in a chord are like the active genes, and the rest can be likened to what scientists have dubbed the silent, or non-coding, DNA.

When certain stresses or even benevolent changes occur in our environment, our DNA adapts to them by activating previously silent genes and deactivating others. A new piano chord is played. New keys, or genes, are now active, while others fall silent. The new configuration of active genes instructs the body to function better under the new circumstances.

Of course, the DNA won’t alter after just one instance of a stress or other environmental change; usually it takes many repetitions of a situation before the genetic changes are lasting. In the process, it is also possible that the genetic codes will become damaged, break down, or mutate. When this happens as a result of harmful radiation, serious diseases such as skin cancer can develop.

Waking Up Healthier Genes

To help our DNA evolve, Yellow Sapphire activates and deactivates certain genes. When Yellow Sapphire’s energy fills a cell, its yellow ray awakens certain “sleeping” genes and lulls other active ones into repose. A new chord, or set of genes, comes into play. We can call this new set of genes the “Yellow Sapphire chord.” These genes give a new set of instructions to the cells telling them how to perform their metabolic functions in an environment of intense Yellow Sapphire yellow ray.

If you have worn Yellow Sapphire for a while and go outside in the sun, the radiation might still temporarily activate the same old set of genes that give unhealthy instructions to the cells. However, if the Yellow Sapphire chord has been established, at first opportunity—usually, soon after you return indoors—your cells’ DNA will revert to the Yellow Sapphire chord. This bounce-back effect occurs because of the strength and resilience of the healthier chord. It provides a healthy rut for the genes to fall back into each time they stray.

Although initially Yellow Sapphire does not prevent the genes from being affected by solar radiation or other EMR, through the bounce-back effect, it can ensure that the unhealthy changes are temporary. Over time, Yellow Sapphire’s chord can become so strong and established that the DNA will insist on playing it, even when you are spending time exposed to the sun. In other words, wearing Yellow Sapphire encourages your DNA to evolve and, in time, trains it to be unaffected by greater amounts of solar radiation. Ultimately, Yellow Sapphire teaches your body to recognize and accept solar yellow ray as nourishment and to thrive in an environment of a higher volume and frequency of yellow ray.

Protecting Cells from Other Sources of Radiation

Of course, the sun’s rays are not the only type of radiation that the body encounters and is affected by. Today, we are increasingly bombarded by electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from a host of electronic devices, including everyday gadgets, appliances, and engines, as well as from medical applications, such as x-rays, CT scans, and radiation therapy. Among other harmful effects, exposure to EMR leaches yellow ray from our cells. Yellow Sapphire provides an abundance of yellow ray to replenish that which has been depleted by EMR exposure.

The DNA changes initiated by Yellow Sapphire that help us adapt to solar radiation also help protect our cells from damage caused by EMR.

Nourishing and Strengthening the Body with Yellow Ray

To heal from illness and maintain health, the body needs a sufficient supply of all seven color rays, including the yellow ray. The body’s supply of yellow ray can be depleted by a variety of life experiences and stresses, which can lead to myriad health problems. Wearing Yellow Sapphire can abundantly replenish the body’s yellow ray and thus help heal any condition caused by a deficiency of yellow ray.

Supporting the Skin, Other Organs of Elimination, and Other Membranes

Each of the seven color rays is particularly healing and nourishing to certain parts of the physical body. The yellow ray supports the yellow life system, which includes the organs of elimination—the skin, bladder, urinary tract, kidneys, intestines, and eliminative aspects of the liver. Any organ in the yellow life system with a disease or malfunction is likely suffering from a yellow ray deficiency. Wearing Yellow Sapphire can help strengthen these organs and resolve conditions associated with them.

Worn as a necklace, Yellow Sapphire is beneficial not only to the skin that covers the surface of the body but to our internal surfaces as well. To decide whether Yellow Sapphire can help a particular condition, look for symptoms that appear on the skin and other surfaces and linings of organs, tissues, and cells. Examples of skin conditions that can be helped by Yellow Sapphire are acne, eczema, psoriasis, scleroderma, and melanoma. Yellow Sapphire can also help heal afflictions of the sinus membranes, pericardium surrounding the heart, and fascia surrounding muscles. Since the inside of the digestive tract is also like a skin, Yellow Sapphire can support the healing of conditions such as ulcers, reflux disease, Crohn’s Disease, and diverticulitis.

The skin is the organ that receives the most solar radiation directly, and skin cancer is one manifestation of the serious damage that can be caused by the bombardment of solar frequencies. Wearing a Yellow Sapphire necklace can help the body learn to adapt to solar radiation without causing unhealthy mutations. Over time, the skin’s cells can become less affected by the sun’s rays.

Help for Deficiency, Depletion, and Frailty

Harmful solar and other radiation can also cause cellular malnourishment, because radiation disrupts the cells’ ability to take in needed nutrients. Cells become so busy trying to protect themselves from the unwanted invasion of the radiation that they can also close themselves off to healthy input, such as nutrients and healthful energies. The cells become starved and weakened at the same time they are being robbed of yellow ray and possibly suffering DNA breakdowns. In the short term, Yellow Sapphire provides enough yellow ray to offset the malnourishment that results from this radiation. In the long term, Yellow Sapphire promotes genetic evolution to allow the cells to live and function normally in the midst of today’s radiation stresses.

Yellow Sapphire can also help resolve diseases associated with deficiency and depletion. Depletion that manifests in a physical condition suggests color ray deficiencies at a deeper level. Such conditions can include dehydration, anorexia, exhaustion, anemia (including chronic and pernicious anemia), plus the debility of old age. Yellow Sapphire’s yellow ray acts as a bridge to allow other color rays to enter the body. For this reason, the body can essentially lean on Yellow Sapphire like an “energetic crutch” while it is collecting other color rays to feed its organs and muscles and to rebuild its own strength. Thus, the weak and the frail can also benefit from Yellow Sapphire.

Replacement for Sunlight

Via the Earth’s atmosphere, the sun provides an abundant and essential source of color rays for the human body. Consequently, spending at least brief periods of time in the sun is essential to human health. Without enough exposure to the sun, people can develop color ray deficiencies. These manifest as conditions identified with a lack of sunlight, such as seasonal depression.

If you live in an area that is frequently cloudy or periodically receives very little sun, or if you work the night shift, it is helpful to wear Yellow Sapphire during periods of reduced sunlight. Wearing Yellow Sapphire can replace about 80 percent of your body’s need for time outside in the sun. Thus, Yellow Sapphire can help if you are sun-sensitive and must stay indoors. Under Yellow Sapphire’s influence, your cells will learn to use what little sunlight they get more efficiently. If you are sensitive to the sun, over time Yellow Sapphire might decrease your sensitivity.

Some people notice that when they spend too much time in the sun they feel drained of energy. This can be caused by the bombardment of solar radiation. Those who wear Yellow Sapphire may find that they can spend more time outdoors with fewer negative effects.

Caution:
Yellow Sapphire will not prevent sunburn and should not be used as a substitute for sunscreen.

Emotional Healing

As soon as you place a therapeutic Yellow Sapphire necklace around your neck, its yellow ray fills your emotional body. There, it has a protective and stabilizing effect and helps correct color ray deficiencies that may be causing emotional imbalances.

Enhancing Self-Esteem

The color ray spectrums in the emotional body affect which emotions we feel. Interestingly, it is the spectrums in both the emotional and causal bodies that influence how we behave and express those emotions. For example, the collective emotional bodies of all the people in our community define what is acceptable emotional expression in our culture. This social spectrum information is stored in the causal body and affects how we express our emotions. For example, while both a British and Bedouin matron may feel the same intensity of joy or grief, each will likely express her feelings differently based on the collective spectrum of her culture.

Simply wearing Yellow Sapphire can correct color ray imbalances in your emotional-body spectrum and help all the other color rays find their proper places there. As your emotional spectrum evolves, you will become less susceptible to the negative and restrictive influences of the community spectrum. Your own spectrum will become strong enough to stand on its own. You’ll be able to “be yourself” with less susceptibility to social pressure Therefore, both children and adults who have trouble with self-identity and peer pressure can benefit from Yellow Sapphire.

Relief for Depression, Anxiety, and Disconnection

Feelings that tend to be associated with a deficiency of yellow ray include depression, anxiety, and numbness to your condition (as in not realizing how sleepy, thirsty, hungry, moody, anxious, depressed, or sad you are). Lack of honesty with yourself, not facing your true feelings, and not realizing or acknowledging the severity of a certain condition are also symptoms of yellow ray deficiency. Feelings associated with an abundance of yellow ray and well-supplied color spectrums include a healthy sense of self-esteem, self-confidence, and other emotions that support one’s sense of individuality.

Intense fear can use up inner stores of yellow ray. Because it takes much yellow ray to process fear, having a panic or anxiety attack can leave you depleted of yellow ray. During such attacks, so much yellow ray is being used that a person’s aura can appear yellow. (Thus, it might be no coincidence that certain cultures brand someone as “yellow” if he is afraid.) Wearing Yellow Sapphire can restore the yellow ray after an episode of fear or anxiety.

Experiencing the Full Spectrum of Emotions

The physical body often depends on the emotional body for color rays. If the physical body lacks a color ray, it looks to the emotional body for support. Physical symptoms that go untreated keep drawing on the emotional body for color supplementation. Over time, the emotional body can get depleted. When this happens, its capacity to hold necessary color rays narrows and becomes more limited, thus diminishing the range of emotional expressions. This can lead to habitual and mechanical emotional responses. An example of this is the stereotypical old codger who increasingly wallows in complaints and grumpiness until that’s all he can emote.

An emotional body that contains a full range of color rays responds spontaneously, freely, genuinely, and honestly. The greater the capacity of your emotional body to contain color rays, the healthier your emotional responses naturally will be. Yellow Sapphire provides the groundwork for color ray deficiencies to be corrected and your emotional body to experience its full spectrum of color.

Facilitating Memory

When we experience an event, a memory is born. Our experience is impressed into the memory, or causal, body. The ability to retrieve memories and the process of retrieving them boils down to the ability, first, to organize the memories when they are formed and stored; second, to know where to look for them when you want them; and, third, to clearly perceive what you retrieve. Yellow Sapphire can help the causal body recognize the spectrums of experiences that occur while you are wearing Yellow Sapphire. Consequently, you can later retrieve those memory spectrums more easily. This effect will continue after the necklace is removed, for as long as a heightened amount of yellow ray remains in your causal body.
Yellow Sapphire will also help you retrieve memories collected before you wore the necklace, though to a lesser degree. Your short-term memory might improve as you continue to work with the gemstone; and, as your short-term memories become long-term memories, these too can become more available.

When you wear Yellow Sapphire, you might also find that you less often encounter people who annoyingly rehash settled arguments or keep digging up memories you prefer to remain in the past. When your aura is filled with yellow ray, you and those around you are more likely to deal with situations in present time, and old, out-of-date spectrums will resolve more easily.

Relaxing the Mind and Improving Intuition

The vibrations of Yellow Sapphire worn around the neck do not fill the mental aura. Yet the effects of Yellow Sapphire on the mind are not inconsequential, simply indirect.

When you wear Yellow Sapphire, its yellow ray reflects off your causal aura, drawing the mind’s attention to the lower bodies, where it sees an abundance of yellow ray. There, the mind perceives increased order and fulfillment of the physical and subtle bodies’ color ray needs. Because the mind loves order, it relaxes in the knowledge that all is well and being taken care of. The more relaxed the mind, the more able it is to receive all color rays from their source in the undifferentiated white light. As the mind opens to the true source of light and color, it becomes a better instrument of mental activity. It is less likely to censor intuitive information and more likely to pass it on to the conscious mind, where you become aware of it. In this way, Yellow Sapphire improves your intuition and helps you draw intuitive knowledge from any level of your being.

Preparing for the Transition at the End of Life

Anyone who is approaching the greatest transition in life can benefit from Yellow Sapphire, as its pure yellow ray can help us adjust to the white light we will meet when our physical bodies cease to function. The yellow ray can act like a bridge to the white light and encourage a more peaceful transition. Thus, Yellow Sapphire can be worn to ease the fear of death.

Living Harmoniously with the Earth and in Our Communities

If you want to develop a closer, more harmonious relationship with the Earth, wearing Yellow Sapphire is a good choice. Our DNA tells our cells not only how to behave but also how to behave with each other, so that they can communicate with each other for optimal functioning. On a larger scale, the DNA changes initiated by Yellow Sapphire will give rise not only to changes in the way we function but also in the way we behave and express ourselves in our communities. The new, improved combination of genetic information can help us live more harmoniously under the sun, with the Earth, and with each other, and perhaps also become kinder stewards of the planet. Yellow Sapphire will help us recognize that life depends on symbiosis and healthy relationships. Indeed, developing peaceful relationships among ourselves and with our planet, and adapting to the Earth’s changes, is essential for our survival.

All in the Family

The auras of those who wear Yellow Sapphire become so filled with yellow ray that they become a source of yellow ray nourishment for others in their environment. Consequently, one Yellow Sapphire necklace per family household is usually all that is required. Adults and older children can take turns wearing it. Young children can receive its benefits from being around other family members who are wearing the necklace.

Yellow Sapphire and Other Gemstones

A solid necklace of Yellow Sapphire can be worn along with any other therapeutic gemstone necklace as long as the combination of necklaces suits the wearer. Since Yellow Sapphire is a special medicine, a gemstone that is beneficial when worn separately from Yellow Sapphire might make for a disharmonious pairing when worn with it. Before wearing another gemstone necklace with Yellow Sapphire, test the combination for compatibility.

Compatibility with Other Necklaces

In general, Yellow Sapphire and Emerald are compatible, as are Yellow Sapphire and the combination necklace Ocean Rainbow. Wearing a solid Yellow Sapphire necklace with the combination necklace Ocean Rainbow can help heal color ray deficiencies at all levels of your being. Ocean Rainbow contains all seven color ray gemstones along with white Pearl.

Nonetheless, it is always a good idea to check for compatibility whenever you wish to wear two or more gemstone necklaces together using the Necklace Compatibility Test.

Comparison of Yellow Sapphire to Pink Tourmaline

Wearing a therapeutic Pink Tourmaline necklace offers protection from electromagnetic radiation (EMR), but through a different mechanism and in a different time frame than Yellow Sapphire. In addition, the effects of Pink Tourmaline are specific to EMR, such as that emitted by appliances, engines, and computers, and do not include protection from solar radiation.

When you wear a Pink Tourmaline necklace, its energy fills your aura, effectively transforming your aura into a shield, but only as long as you are wearing the necklace. While you are wearing a Yellow Sapphire necklace, it fills your aura with yellow ray, which prevents the EMR from leaching your body of yellow ray. If you wear Yellow Sapphire long enough, it helps your DNA evolve so you can live without genetic damage in a world of high-intensity solar yellow ray. As a side benefit, such evolution also prevents DNA damage from EMR.

If you are frequently exposed to an environment with EMR, wear Yellow Sapphire to protect your color ray levels and, in time, teach your DNA to be unaffected by such environments. If you want immediate protection from such an environment, wear Pink Tourmaline.

Color and Contaminants
The most potent therapeutic Yellow Sapphire is a true canary yellow. Although therapeutic Yellow Sapphire can occur in a range of yellow tints, the color of the gems that comprise a particular necklace should be consistent and perceived as harmonious. Therapeutic Yellow Sapphire looks bright; the brighter it is, the more potent its therapeutic effects will be.

Gemstones can contain a variety of minerals not native to the gemstone that can contaminate the gemstone’s therapeutic effects. In Yellow Sapphire, a muddy color, hints of other colors, white clouds, and black spots are signs of contamination. Avoid Yellow Sapphire that tends toward orange, and absolutely avoid black or brown inclusions.

Gemisphere’s Yellow Sapphire Is Untreated

The vast majority of the Yellow Sapphire on the market today has been treated in various ways to enhance its color and clarity. Gemisphere is researching which treatments, if any, allow Yellow Sapphire to retain its therapeutic benefits. For example, we have learned that certain heat treatments simply mimic the conditions that the gemstones would have experienced had they been left in the Earth thousands of years longer.

For now, all the Yellow Sapphire offered by Gemisphere is completely untreated. However, this untreated Yellow Sapphire is extremely rare. Because of this rarity, if the heat treatments described above prove to allow the gemstones to retain their therapeutic value, we may also decide to offer Yellow Sapphire that has been so treated.

We do know that the common practice of treating the gemstones with beryllium renders them not only non-therapeutic, but potentially harmful to the aura. Therefore, Yellow Sapphire that has been chemically treated or irradiated with beryllium is to be avoided.

Our Yellow Sapphire Necklaces
Our therapeutic Yellow Sapphire necklaces are made with Sapphire rondels that have been cut from high quality crystals usually reserved for making faceted gems. To ensure our Sapphire’s superior therapeutic value, we obtain the gemstones in rough form and then have the rondels cut to our unique specifications. Consequently, we offer the highest quality therapeutic Yellow Sapphire necklaces available anywhere.

Consistency is an important factor in creating a Yellow Sapphire necklace with a potent and harmonious energetic signature. Therefore, to make each necklace, we carefully match rondels for color, clarity, shape, and size. Thus, each Yellow Sapphire necklace is unique, and all are individually priced based on their total carat weight and quality.

For most gemstones, the therapeutic quality categories defined as Very Fine (••), Exquisite (•••), Exquisite Plus (••••), etc. suffice to describe the quality of the gems in a particular necklace. However, for a handful of gemstones, gradients of quality exist within each therapeutic quality category. Yellow Sapphire is one of these gemstones. This means that a particular Yellow Sapphire necklace may be somewhat higher or lower in quality than the other necklaces in the same category. These variations are reflected in the price per carat of each necklace.

You know how you feel when you’re soaking up the sun on a beautiful spring day after a long cold winter? Wearing Yellow Sapphire has been like that, only to the hundredth power and without the sunburn! I feel like I’m drinking in deep nourishment I didn’t know I was lacking. I can feel my cells filling with light and new strength.

C.T., New Jersey

I wanted help resolving some lifelong issues I had with my mother. The Gemstone Advisor at Gemisphere suggested the Yellow Sapphire necklace for comfort and healing. When it arrived, I wore it constantly for two days. Suddenly, on the third day, the answer came to me. I had to forgive my mother for the things she had done and not continue to reject her as she had done to me. As suddenly as it came to me what I needed to do, I was also able to do it. It was amazing how simple it was, and yet it had been the bane of my existence. It was such a delightful experience that all I could do was giggle and be amazed at how easy it was.

I cannot change my mother. She is who she is, but I now have the power to change how I respond to her. Words are so inadequate to try to explain what this experience. It's like being set free.

Wear It Around Your Neck

One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Yellow Sapphire necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems.

Focused Treatments

A Yellow Sapphire necklace can also be used for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery. Here is a focused treatment you can perform with this necklace:

Necklace Length

When wearing a Yellow Sapphire necklace, it should fall below the throat chakra and above the heart chakra. Lengths of 18 or 20 inches will suit most people, and smaller people may be able to wear a 16-inch necklace. There is no difference in the therapeutic action and effects of Yellow Sapphire spheres versus rondels.

Wearing a solid strand of Yellow Sapphire very close to the throat or holding it over a chakra (with the exception of the stomach chakra) can cause a temporary electrical shutdown of the chakra, leaving you feeling drained and depleted of energy. Such a shutdown is similar to what happens when a power surge causes a temporary power outage in a house.

If you wear Yellow Sapphire to bed, there’s no need to be concerned about the necklace draping across your throat while you are asleep. Your sleeping body will naturally change positions in response to either physical or energetic discomfort. Over time, your body will also adapt to the Yellow Sapphire, making you stronger in many ways, and your ability to withstand the presence of Yellow Sapphire on your chakras will improve.

General Time Guidelines

To teach your body to become more neutral and receptive to an increased amount and intensity of solar energy and electromagnetic radiation (EMR), twice a year wear Yellow Sapphire continually for three to five months. The protective effects will linger for a few months after you remove the Yellow Sapphire. For ongoing protection, repeat this process every year. If you were to wear Yellow Sapphire for several months and then never wore it again, all things being equal, the stress of continued solar and EMR bombardment would eventually cause the gemstones’ protective benefits to wear off.

Between the three-to-five month periods, wear Yellow Sapphire as you like. The exact amount of time required will depend on the individual. For example, you might choose to wear it when you need extra protection, such as when you are outside in the summer sun (remember to wear sunscreen), or when you enter an environment with high volumes of EMR, such as a store that sells electronic devices.

Treating Skin Conditions

If you are using Yellow Sapphire to help with a skin condition (for example, acne, eczema, psoriasis, or scleroderma), wear the necklace as often as possible. However, wearing it during the day and then taking it off at night and leaving it by your bedside will also be effective.

Of course, if you ever feel you need to take a break from Yellow Sapphire or any other gemstone necklace, you should follow your intuition and put the gemstone aside until you are ready to start working with it again.

Protection for Air Travel

Air travel exposes the body to high levels of solar radiation and other EMR. The resulting depletion of yellow ray can cause weakness and contribute to jet lag. To prevent this yellow ray depletion, wear Yellow Sapphire for at least a week before boarding the plane, as well as during the flights both to and from your destination. Again, Yellow Sapphire is susceptible to picking up radiation. Therefore, if you wear it during the flight or bring it on the plane, remove the necklace when you arrive at your destination; then, before you wear it again, use the clay pack cleansing technique to clear it of any radiation frequencies.

If you are sensitive to radiation, continue wearing the Yellow Sapphire while you are away and then for another week or two after you have returned home. This should correct any genetic breakdowns caused by either solar radiation or EMR.

If you wish to shield yourself from non-solar EMR during an airplane flight, Pink Tourmaline is the gemstone of choice. If you travel frequently and want to build resistance to the genetic damage caused by both EMR and solar radiation, wear Yellow Sapphire for three to five months twice a year, as described above. You may wish to use the Necklace Compatibility Test to determine whether wearing both necklaces during a flight is compatible with you.

Protection from High-Level Radiation Exposure

You may also want to work with Yellow Sapphire when your body will be exposed to high-level, focused radiation, such as that from an x-ray or other radiation treatment. Such radiation depletes the body’s yellow ray, which in turn leaves the body susceptible to damage from subsequent x-rays.

Start wearing the Yellow Sapphire necklace again at least several hours to a day before your x-ray or radiation treatment. Yellow Sapphire is particularly susceptible to picking up radiation. Therefore, be sure to remove the Yellow Sapphire during the actual x-ray or treatment, since your aura cannot protect the gemstones themselves from the radiation, which could negatively affect their therapeutic quality. After the treatment or x-ray, put the Yellow Sapphire back around your neck and wear it for at least another five to seven days. Wearing it afterwards can be even more critical than wearing it beforehand, because then the body can correct any genetic breakdowns before they become permanent.

Care and Cleansing of Yellow Sapphire

To cleanse a Yellow Sapphire necklace, every few days you are wearing it, wipe it clean with an alcohol pad or cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol. Then, for a more thorough cleansing, use a clay bath. (Note that the clay bath procedure differs in some details and is less intensive than a clay pack, which is specifically designed to remove radiation from the gems.) Learn how to perform a clay bath and clay pack.

Alcohol is preferred over water for cleansing Yellow Sapphire for several reasons. First, alcohol is more effective for removing body oils and other surface residue. Because of Yellow Sapphire’s work with DNA, such cleansing is important. Second, in the case of Yellow Sapphire, alcohol also works better than water to cleanse the vibratory cloud that surrounds the gemstones after use (this is not the case with other gemstones). Finally, Yellow Sapphire has no affinity with water.

Again, if your Yellow Sapphire has been exposed to radiation, whether during an x-ray, a radiation treatment, or air travel, be sure to cleanse with a clay pack before using it again.

Yellow Sapphire has the ability to regenerate itself unlike any other gemstone. You can use this unique ability to purify and renew your Yellow Sapphire necklace. After you have cleansed the surface of the gems, close the necklace’s clasp and arrange the strand into a double or triple circle. Make the circle as precise as you can, and then lay it on a flat surface to rest. Any negative energies the necklace may have collected from your body and aura will be picked up by the Yellow Sapphire’s yellow ray and projected inside the circle. There, these extraneous energies will bounce back and forth between the Yellow Sapphire gems. Eventually, these energies will cancel each other out. At the same time, the yellow ray frequencies of the Yellow Sapphire itself will be strengthened.

Not surprisingly, the best way to store a Yellow Sapphire necklace is to arrange it in a double or triple circle and lay it on a flat surface.

You can supplement the above cleansing methods with one of the following:

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.

When Your Necklace First Arrives

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.
